Dividend investors would be wise to focus not just on a stock's current yield, but also on the long-term growth potential of its dividends. That's because strong businesses that consistently raise their dividend payouts reward shareholders with a steadily rising income stream that essentially equates to a raise every year. And, well, who doesn't like a raise?
With that in mind, here are five stocks that have grown their dividends by 15% or more over the past year: Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM), Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST), Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI), B&G Foods (NYSE: BGS) and Apache (NYSE: APA).
